“On a String and a Prayer,” a spirited evening of dance, music and storytelling.

This Saturday, the Salon will feature cellist Lynn Anderson, guitarist Tony Romano
and violinist, Helen Yee. The dancers and musicians will explore ideas that blur the lines between dancer and musician, and which comes first – movement or music? Other performers will include dancers and choreographers Rachel Nunez, Madison Krekel, Mark Lamb, Sarah Pope, and Jennifer Wilenta.

The evening features three sets interwoven with breaks for wine and homemade food, conversation and participation. Held in a church where “all are welcome”, come experience the warm fellowship that makes Metro Baptist a “home” for Mark Lamb Dance, and a special place for all who enter.

Come and enjoy what The New York Times has called “a quintessential New York experience.” Be a part of the party as a church just off Times Square transforms itself into an elegant setting for nourishing both the spirit and stomach.

How did it get to be November so soon? And boy do I need to update with new stuff…

TRIO TRITTICALI is excited to return to Brooklyn for a unique show. We are all composer/performers in our own right, so we decided to showcase our individual talents with this performance. This concert will feature each of us performing our own solo compositions on the first half. Featured in these compositions dancers Sarah Pope and Jennifer Wilenta, as well as electronic effects and general merriment. The second half will feature more trio originals, including a brand new piece by composer/violinist, Tom Swafford and a new surf rock arrangement.

Year of the Horse, that is…

And I’m galloping along, trying to catch up with updating this website. It’s subtle, but you might notice some new entries in the “listen” menu, and in “projects.” It’s a start, and I think it’s better to be nice to my horse. No need to take out the whip and hurry to a feverishly imagined finish line. I’ve finally put up a few videos on YouTube and you can check those out at the helyee channel. Here’s one to start:

During this time I’ve been busily and happily working on this collaborative project, which you may have heard me talking about lately. And now… On behalf of the entire team working on the Berlin Wall Project, I am excited to invite you to join us for the opening of the first Workshop of The Fall. Take a look at my November newsletter for more details!

My apologies for another “better late than never” newsletter. I’ve got two performances for you on Saturday, June 8, 2013: one at 2pm at Flushing Library and the other at 7pm in Manhattan near the Port Authority. It’s a special day for I’ll be using almost everything I’ve got in one jam-packed day: playing the yangqin, percussion, violin, dancing, and throat singing!

We’ll be putting up a few videos up on the web outside of Facebook, but for a preview of our concert in May 2012 at the Brooklyn Conservatory, see below. And while you’re there, you can “Like” Trio Tritticali :)

Lucid Culture reviewed Trio Tritticali’s debut album, and we’re honored to be named as one of the best albums of 2011.

“…Trio Tritticali have just released their new Issue # 1, one of the most gripping, intelligent, richly eclectic albums of recent years. Drawing on elements as diverse as Egyptian dance vamps, the baroque, bossa nova, tango and European Romantic chamber music, they blend those styles together seamlessly and imaginatively for a bracingly intricate sound that’s uniquely their own.”

Issue #1, released July 2011 (Tritticali Music TM-01) Trio Tritticali’s debut album is a cornucopia of string styles, from jazz and Latin covers “Stolen Moments” and “Corcovado,” to a spirited tango “La Yumba,” Arabic dance “Azizah,” and original rock tunes “Who Knows Yet” and “Issue No.1.”
